   Helpful enough! Thanks for sharing this article! I need this too as I often find my invisible zipper is glaring with flaws. Indeed, it requires technique and skills.

   Hi, I've had good luck when I make my lining a smidgen smaller than my fashion fabric. It pulls the seam a bit to the inside.

   My problem ,as picture indicates was that the neckline got distorted or stretched when I sewed the facing at the top of zipper. That is where I need advice. How much space should be above the zipper tape when putting in an invisible zipper.

   I apply the zipper leaving about a 3/4" space from the zipper stop to the top end of the garment, ( you can also allow the zipper to slightly overlap the neck edge). It is at this time I apply the facing. After installing the facing, I follow the usual steps when attaching a neck facing i.e., I clip,.. trim and understitch the seam to the facing. The final result is a smooth and clean neckline where the zipper stops. If I apply the facing first and the zipper after, the top edge of the neckline (where the zipper ends) becomes distorted and, instead of having a smooth neckline, it tends to have a big bump at the zipper opening. I often had this problem but I finally figured out what I was doing wrong. I hope this helps.
